A while ago I came across a recipe for
amaretto scallops
that sounded really interesting. I like amaretto but I had never even thought about using it in a non-sweet dish like with seafood. After a bit of searching I came across this recipe for
almond shrimp with amaretto butter
. I really liked the sound of the browned butter and almond sauce on shrimp and I just had to try it. This dish came together in almost no time at all. The amaretto shrimp was so good! I was a bit worried that the dish might be too sweet but it was nicely balanced and quite tasty. The slivered almonds added a nice contrasting texture and some extra almond flavour. I served the amaretto shrimp on some coconut jasmine rice to soak up all of the buttered amaretto sauce. I can't wait to make this again.

Kevin, I have to say that I absolutely ADORE!! your blog. Thank you so much! The recipes are very much in line with my tastes, and time you take to photograph and present each creation so well makes all the difference! Yumm, yumm, yumm. I am making the amaretto shrimp tonight.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
